Sage Leaf

Sage (Salvia officinalis) is high in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals that cause cellular damage that could lead to chronic disease. Sage is particularly high in rosmarinic acid, an antioxidant that decreases inflammation and helps reduce blood sugar levels. Sage has a fair amount of vitamin K, which is essential for bone health, circulation, and proper blood clotting. Sage helps improve healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, potentially decreasing the risk of heart disease. Sage is widely used to boost mood, improve memory, and help prevent brain-related disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Sage is a common ingredient found in natural skin care, as it promotes healthy skin-cell growth, slows signs of aging, and decreases wrinkle formation.
